ML and streaming links

[Inthewoods]

Ok, here I am asking for help again. I listen to a lot of streaming radio, and I'd like to figure out how to have my links integrated into the Media Library. I'd like to have several "streaming playlists", like Classic Rock, Smooth Jazz, Reggae, Trance, etc, with each "playlist" containing several of my favorite streams.

I know how to play a stream and save it for replay later, I've used both SR32 and Boombox to find the links. My question is more about organization. For instance:

I can create the playlists, but how exactly can I get them into the ML along with my other media?

Also, how do I make the QMP display show the stream data for individual songs rather than just the URL or Station name?

In other words, I'm trying to come up with some lind of "system" that will let QMP treat a streaming URL just like any other media, from both a playlist and Media Library point of view. Any suggestions?

Some sort of streaming support in the ML is on the way, as per Paul. You can view playlists in the ML if you click the Show Playlists button but that area doesn't display anything useful, all it shows is the list of URLs, not the descriptive info I saved when I created my lists in QCD. That info still shows up when I open a streaming playlist in the playlist window, however.

As for the data being shown, I have trouble determining when that's Q's fault or the streamer's fault. Some streams are more troublesome than others, even when tried in other players.
